      . 1912 Apr 5 - Tragedy in Newmarket, Young Man Instantly Killed
      About 5:36 Thursday afternoon last week a sad accident occurred: All day several man had been erecting a crone in the yard at Luesby's Marble Works to handling larger blocks of stone. Work was all compelled & a test was made by proprietary Geo W Luesby, who was located at the foot of the crane behind the boom for the purpose of swinging it around. Joseph Snider Watson Miller were turning the cranks that wind the steel cables. Go. McTavish, foreman, who had been working on the press about 10, held 2 large iron hogs in his hands to place under the stone as soon as the crane was in position, when all at once there was an electric shock.
      Mr. Luesby let our a yell as he was knocked over,
      Millard had one hand on the iron hands, was all knocked over,
      but Snider could not let go his hand,
      - the other young man McTavish was electrocuted instantly.
      The hooks of the crane arm came into contact with the high tension transmission wire of theMetro Railway Co., transmitting up to 16,500 volts of Niagara power to transmitting station on Queen St., 300 yards to the east of the marble Works.
      McTavish fell lifeless to the ground & snider was released from is grip. His hands were badly burned & the other 2 men were insensible for a few moments, Mr. Millards's features turned black.
      To prevent any further possibility of future accident, the pole carrying the electric wires should be moved 20 feet to these & raised 10 to 15 feet higher.
      The victim of the accident was industrious & popular young man, a member of Woodmen of the Word & the Chosen Friends Society. He was 3rds on of James McTavish. Interred at Newmarket Cemetery.
